Job description:
Hi, this is Vend. You might have heard of us. We really dig your city, and love to spend time there. We keep popping down for Webstock, WDCNZ, and other events. Sometimes we just come down for a weekend to hang out because we like you. It's getting a bit serious to be honest.So yeah. Ummm, we'd like to move in. Have you got a spare room? We promise not to be too messy: we'll clean up after the big parties and we love pets, so we're happy to share a room with them.What do you think? Can we make this work? Please say yes.

Requirements:
We'd be looking for a few things to make sure we can all get along. Web devs basically, but what we're planning to do is build up a fully independent engineering team at your place. It would need some people like this:- Front-end web devs. Ideally you're a total Javascript nerd, perhaps with a bit of Angular experience, but we can teach you that if you're super keen. You dig modular, clean JS; modern JS tooling like Gulp and Browserify; and perhaps even enjoy detangling a bit of callback soup. You'd need to work with our designers to translate their stuff into HTML and SASS/SMACSS too, but if you're cool with plain old HTML5/CSS you'll pick that up quick.- Backend web devs. You're an OO monster who dreams in REST. You grok MVC patterns, and understand that a modern web stack has a shitload of moving parts. Sure there's some core code there (we use Go and PHP), but the stuff like Unit Testing, Redis, Elastic Search, Git / Github, Resque, MySQL, Selenium and Nginx (and more) all play a part. We're absolutely not precious about PHP knowledge by the way.- Quality Assistance lovelies. Yeah that's right: we don't call it "testing" or "quality assurance". Quality at Vend is all about working together to get the most robust outcome. That means being involved in building features from day one - building automated test tools, using your analytical skills to guide developers around potential pitfalls, and checking that they don't fall into them after ignoring you. Bloody developers.- DevOps &amp; Infrastructure homies. Our continuous deployment setup at Vend is *tight* (as the kids would say). We deploy multiple times a day to our production stack, so we need people who really dig deployment and infrastructure automation, and know all about scalability and performance of fairly complex web applications. We promise you can have a big TV full of graphs to put up on the wall too.Do you fit one of the descriptions above? If so we'd be super stoked if you could get in touch. We're keen to move in really soon.Vend xoxo
